Chennai, May 20 (NationPress) Actress Dhanshika, a trained martial artist known for her role as a police officer in the upcoming action film 'Yogi Da', expresses her aspiration to organize a nationwide rally to emphasize the vital importance of self-defence for women.
During the audio and trailer launch of the film, she shared, "This is a significant moment for me. I am overwhelmed. My uncle, who raised me for 20 years, Arun, passed away last month. Today would have been his dream day. For many years, I struggled to make my mark in the industry. It was during that time that Arun uncle encouraged me, saying, 'You come child. I will make a film for you.' He was my mentor and protector. I know he is watching over me from above."
She further mentioned her discussions with her Silambam instructor, Pandian master, about creating films focused on women.
"As a trained martial artist, after I enrolled in his Silambam classes, nearly 200 girls have started learning this martial art form. I urge parents to prioritize sending their daughters to self-defence classes instead of just painting or dance classes," she emphasized.
"I have always envisioned a rally across the country promoting self-defence for women. It is my dream, and I am confident I will achieve it," she smiled, revealing her upcoming wedding to actor Vishal on August 29.
In Yogi Da, Sai Dhanshika portrays a dedicated police inspector who faces frequent transfers due to her integrity. During one of her assignments, a murder occurs within her jurisdiction. When the victim's family tries to label it as a suicide, she uncovers the truth and brings the perpetrator to justice. The film revolves around these events.
Yogi Da features a talented cast including Sayaji Shinde, Manobala, Kabir Duhan Singh, and Esther. Directed by Goutham Krishna, the film's music is composed by Deepak Dev, while SKA Boopathi handles the cinematography. The editing is done by G Sasikumar, and the stunts are choreographed by K Ganesh Kumar.
Point of View
I believe Dhanshika's initiative is not just timely but essential in today's society. Highlighting self-defence for women can empower them, ensuring they feel secure and confident. The importance of such movements cannot be overstated, and we must support voices advocating for women's rights and safety.
